BOSTON — Almost four months since Yankees team president Randy Levine gushed over him, opening the the Yankees to a possibly hefty fine from Major League Basbeall, Mike Trout and the Angels will visit The Bronx Friday.

On Dec. 13, Levine said Trout, 22, was perhaps the only player in baseball he'd consider giving a 10-year contract because of his prodigious ability and youth.

“When we signed Derek Jeter to a 10-year contract, I believe he was 26. In that context it makes sense,” Levine said. “If Mike Trout was here, I’d recommend the 10-year contract. But for people over 30, I don’t believe it makes sense."

Levine used the outfielder as an example as he was explaining why the Yankees didn't want to match the 10-year, $240-million contract the Mariners gave star second baseman Robinson Cano, 31, to pry him from the Yankees in the offseason.

The league, at the time, said it would look into whether Levine's comment broke its tampering rule, which basically states a team can't discuss the employment of a player while he's under contract with another club.

Soon after Levine made the comment, he said, he reached out to Angels team president John Carpino and apologized.

As of mid-April, MLB was still looking into fining the Yankees, according to the Los Angeles Times, which cited two unnamed sources in its report. The story didn't say how much the league was considering fining the team.

Trout has been every bit of the talent Levine was referencing. He's hitting .315 with five homers and 15 RBI through 98 at-bats. He grew up in Millville, N.J.
